When the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Corps of the Imperial Army attacked Tulum, the 2nd Cossack Cavalry Corps and the 8th Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian Army finally arrived. At this time, the Imperial cavalry had already invaded Tulum and was destroying the recalcitrant Russian army in Tulum. The Russian army in Tulum is nothing more than a second-line army with little combat effectiveness. In the face of the fierce attack of the imperial cavalry, they lacked weapons and had low morale, and they could not resist at all. If no miracle happens, Tulum will soon be captured by the Imperial cavalry.

"Damn! Those guys have already invaded Tulum! Lieutenant General Anikita, commander of the 8th Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian Army, said with a dark face. If the Chinese cavalry had destroyed the war materials stored in Tulum, they would have died. When the time comes, the army at the front will have no logistical supplies, and Ivan. Marshal Paskovich will not let go of both of them in the first place.

"Attack with all your might! We must defeat those Chinese cavalry and save Tulum! "The commander of the 2nd Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian Army, Lieutenant General Menshikov, gave the order to attack. Now, there is only one way in front of them, and that is to defeat the Chinese cavalry in front of them.

"Ulla! Ulla! "More than 30,000 cavalry, began to attack the 1st Cavalry Corps and the 2nd Cavalry Corps of the Imperial Army.

"Haha! Those old hairy people really came. Order the ministries to get ready. Let the four brigades in the city withdraw two brigades back. In addition, a telegram was sent to the 5th and 6th Cavalry Corps. The fish are hooked and ready to reel! Major General Monk Greenqin laughed.

"Yes, General!" A communications officer hurriedly went to deliver the order.

"Fire!" After the Russian army rushed to less than two kilometers from the line of defense of the Imperial cavalry. Hundreds of mortars opened fire. In order to ensure speed, the Imperial cavalry did not carry large-caliber artillery, but there were quite a few mortars. These mortars, although not very powerful, have a fast rate of fire, plus a large number of them. It was already enough to inflict huge casualties on the Russian Cossack cavalry corps.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "One after another, the shells exploded in the ranks of the Russian cavalry, and the shrapnel produced by the explosion wantonly harvested the orders of the surrounding Russian troops. One after another, the Russian cavalry fell off their horses, and then were trampled into meat sauce by the horses galloping behind.

However, there are too many Russian troops, coupled with their speed. The scattered ones are also open. The mortars of the Imperial cavalry were not enough to crush the Russian army.

When the Russian Cossack cavalry stormed less than eight hundred meters from the line of the Imperial cavalry, heavy machine guns opened fire. More than two hundred heavy machine guns began to fire at the Russian troops. The dense children, as if forming an invisible wall, stopped the Russian army's offensive vigorously. The attacking Russian cavalry, as if they were cutting wheat, fell to the ground in rows and neatly.

The neighing of a war horse before it died. The wails of the Russian cavalry before they died in battle, gathered together. It makes up a symphony of death.

"Damn! Those despicable Chinese cavalry, they will only slaughter us with strong firepower! Order the remaining troops, bypassing the fire blockade of the Chinese cavalry. Lieutenant General Menshikov said through gritted teeth. Although the tactics of the Chinese cavalry relying on firepower superiority to weaken the Russian army are shameless, they have to admit that they are very effective. At least, the Russian cavalry could not take advantage of this tactic at all.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "When the Russian army finally broke through the blockade of heavy machine gun fire, the horse pistols in the hands of the Imperial cavalry also opened fire. The cavalrymen quickly finished firing the five rounds in the magazine, and then, drawing their sabers, rushed forward.

The 2nd Cossack Cavalry Corps and the 8th Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian army were hit by mortars and heavy machine guns and suffered heavy losses. After suffering the baptism of fire from the carbine pistols in the hands of the Imperial cavalry, it was further damaged. As a result, when more than 30,000 Russian troops rushed in front of the imperial cavalry, there were only more than 20,000 left, a full one-third of the losses.

"Kill!" The cavalry on both sides were strangled together. There were still more than 20,000 Russian troops, and the 1st and 2nd armies of the Imperial Cavalry, and more than 20,000 troops remained on the periphery of Tulum. The forces of both sides were almost equal. However, two of the four brigades attacking Tulum had already received orders and would soon rush back. When the time comes, the Imperial cavalry will have an advantage in terms of strength.

"Dang!" The saber collided violently, making a crisp sound. The Imperial cavalry and the Russian Cossack cavalry began to slash each other with their sabers. Such a battle is undoubtedly very tragic. The casualties on both sides were also very heavy.

I have to admit that the Russian Cossack cavalry was tall and strong, and its strength was generally a little stronger than that of the imperial cavalry, which made the Russians have a little advantage when the two sides were engaged in a white-knuckle battle. Losses are growing on both sides.

Ten minutes later, two cavalry brigades, withdrawn from Tulum, launched an attack from the flank of the Russian Cossack cavalry. After the two brigades joined in, the Imperial cavalry immediately gained the upper hand in strength. Although the Russian Cossack cavalry fought valiantly, the lack of troops and the growing morale of the Russian Cossack cavalry made the Russian Cossack cavalry on the verge of collapse.

"General Menshikov, there are too many Chinese cavalry, and we are completely at a disadvantage!" Lieutenant General Anikita said with some anxiety. There is no doubt that if the current situation continues, the Russian army will probably suffer.

"General Anikita, we have no way out, we can only fight. Throw our guards into battle! Lieutenant General Menshikov said. Now, they had no other way, and there was no other way to go except to desperately defeat the Chinese cavalry in front of them.

"Cossack warriors, for Russia, fight!" Lieutenant General Menshikov, with his own guard, joined the battle. The same goes for Lieutenant General Anikita. Although their guard was not very large, only more than three hundred. However, the addition of these people has raised the morale of the Russian army a lot. As high-ranking generals, they undoubtedly played an exemplary role by participating in the hardest battles regardless of their own safety.

"Ulla! Ulla! "For a time, the Russian army's offensive became more sharp, causing a lot of casualties to the imperial cavalry.

"Humph! Lao Maozi, this is just a trapped beast. I'll see how long they can hold out! Monk Lingqin said coldly.

"Hmmm! I sent another telegram to the 5th and 6th armies, urging them to come quickly. Major General Qiao Moyan said.

Major General Monk Grinchen did not stop it, although he firmly believed that with the strength of the 1st and 2nd armies of the Imperial Cavalry, he would definitely be able to defeat the Russian cavalry with ease. However, for the sake of insurance and at the same time to reduce casualties as much as possible, it is also very necessary to let the 5th and 6th armies enter the battle earlier.

After more than half an hour of fighting, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves could be heard again in the distance. The sound of horses' hooves converges as if the sea is rising.

The dense sound of horses' hooves boosted the morale of the Imperial cavalry.

"Reinforcements are coming! Brothers, kill! "The arrival of reinforcements has further boosted the morale of the Imperial cavalry.

On the other hand, the morale of the Russian Cossack cavalry plummeted. They faced the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Corps of the Imperial Army, and it was already difficult to win. The arrival of the 5th and 6th armies of the Imperial Cavalry directly sounded their death knell.

"Damn, I knew that those Chinese cavalry had gathered all the cavalry and wanted to wipe us all out!" The commander of the 8th Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian Army, Lieutenant General Anikita, turned pale.

"General Anikita, it's useless to talk about this now, find a way to break through! Otherwise we're all going to die here. Lieutenant General Menshikov said. In the face of the main force of the Chinese cavalry, they wanted to hold Tulum, it was no longer possible, and what they could do now was to flee as much as possible and save themselves.

The 5th and 6th armies of the Imperial Cavalry, totaling more than 50,000 men, rushed to the battlefield and threw themselves into the battle against the Russian Cossack cavalry.

The Russian Cossack cavalry only wanted to retreat at this time, it was too late. The 5th and 6th Cavalry Corps of the Imperial Army surrounded and blocked the way for the Russian cavalry to retreat.

The battle ended two hours later, and the remaining 30,000 men of the 2nd Cossack Cavalry Corps and the 8th Cossack Cavalry Corps of Russia, except for a few lucky ones who escaped, were annihilated by the Imperial cavalry, and more than 4,000 people, including Lieutenant General Menshikov and Lieutenant General Anikita, chose to surrender to the Imperial cavalry at the last moment.

And the Imperial cavalry also paid more than 3,000 casualties in this battle. Mainly the casualties of the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Corps in the initial battle with the Russian cavalry.

However, it is already a good deal to exchange more than 3,000 for more than 30,000 Russian Cossack cavalry. More importantly, after this Russian army is eliminated, there is no force in the rear of the Russian army that can stop them anymore. The entire rear defense line of the Russian army will be turned upside down by them.

After the Russian cavalry was annihilated, the defenders of Tulum saw no hope and chose to surrender to the Imperial cavalry. Tulum, an important logistical supply center for Russia, fell into the hands of the Imperial cavalry.

After the Imperial cavalry rested in Tulum for the night, and after they replenished the supplies they could use, the remaining Russian war materials were all destroyed, leaving nothing for the Russians.

Just as the Imperial cavalry was preparing to continue their advance westward, a telegram from the command arrived. Major General Liu Zhongming asked the Imperial cavalry to block the fleeing army and create a chance for the Imperial Army to annihilate these Russian troops. (To be continued......)
